Gentleman, we are in luck!!!!!!!

On a whim, I went and checked my electronics parts storage container on a hunch that
I may still have a hardcopy of the video mods. I am pleased to report, that I do
have a hard copy of Jay's original modification instructions. I will ge them posted
ASAP on my website pending Jay Tilton's approval. Can someone here get me in contact
with Jay?  Hopefully he will put them back up on his site. Stay tuned. I'll let you
know when they are up.

Have a good evening,
Lee
